Seanad: Order of Business (25 Mar 2015)

Diarmuid Wilson: I was present for the entire four and a half hours, as were many Members on the other side of the House, and indeed the Leader. It was an excellent opportunity for 14 different organisations to outline the concerns and proposals they have on farm safety. I wish to mention one young man in particular from County Monaghan, a neighbouring county of my own, Patrick Duffy, who made an excellent...

Seanad Public Consultation Committee: Farm Safety: Discussion (23 Mar 2015)

Diarmuid Wilson: I thank Mr. O'Driscoll and Mr. Duffy for their excellent presentations. Senator O'Donnell summed it up when she said Mr. Duffy is the business. Many of us seasoned politicians would have great difficulty giving as balanced and well delivered a presentation as he gave us today. He should be very proud of himself. Has Mr. Duffy taken any action in the direction of Senator Conway's...

Seanad: Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (11 Mar 2015)

Diarmuid Wilson: I welcome the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, to the House. I take this Bill on behalf of my colleague, Senator Thomas Byrne, who is on parliamentary duties elsewhere and cannot be here. Fianna Fáil will support the Bill which stems from a Court of Appeal judgment of 10 March 2015 that section 2(2) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977, under which the Government was empowered to declare...

Seanad: Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (11 Mar 2015)

Diarmuid Wilson: In the Lower House, Deputy Kelleher, together with other Opposition Deputies, called for a designated Minister with responsibility for drugs. The issue is so serious that it requires such a step. Finally, in welcoming this legislation and in giving my party's full support to it, I wish to remember a colleague from the last Seanad who was highly active, together with many other colleagues,...

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)

Diarmuid Wilson: I second Senator Darragh O'Brien's amendment to the Order of Business. I welcome the swift reaction by the Government to the decision of the Court of Appeal today that certain sections of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977 are illegal. I also note that this decision does not affect the supply, sale or possession of so-called hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin or cannabis. However, it affects the...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2015)

Diarmuid Wilson: Like other colleagues, I support Senator Norris and I want to do that while fully respecting the Cathaoirleach's decision that we do not have a role in regard to this matter. I refer to the proposal to reduce people's wages by 5.6% without any discussion. These are public servants after all who work extremely hard. This proposal is being made at a time when we have the establishment of a...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2015)

Diarmuid Wilson: That is what I am saying; I am agreeing with the Cathaoirleach. The onus is on us as Members to pursue these matters with the Members of this House who are on the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission because it is not acceptable that these people are being subjected to working conditions to which they are being subjected. I agree with what the Government Chief Whip, Senator Coghlan, said...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Mar 2015)

Diarmuid Wilson: There have been three major breakdowns of this network in the past number of months. Retailers are being subjected to much hassle as a result of having to check tickets from individuals who come into their outlets because the proper software has not been put in place for people to check their own tickets in the branches, and I understand it will not be in place until the beginning of May.
